Specification ofLetters' Patent.

Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed September 12 1906. Serial No. 334,219.

wl.V whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ISAAC WErNGARr, a

citizen oi' the United States, and a resident of.

the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful I-mprovements in Garments, of whlch the following is a specieation.

My object is to make a very simple garment from la plain piece oi material without having to cut andshape the same and which the decorated'loops on the shoulder-straps for the tie-string. Fig. shows how the shoulder-straps are brought to the garment by the tie-string, and Fig. 6 shows the style y of ornamentation on the edge ofthe garment.

` The garment is formed, preferably, of one piece of material 1, which is placed around the body of the wearer and in which are eut semicircular or other armholes 2 along the top edge of t'he material. The upper edge of the garment is preferably decorated by an ornamental edge 3, which is formed with a series of loops 4, through Which 1s threaded a tie-string 7, so that the upper part of the garment, which is preferablyused as a corset waist, presents a pleasing appearance.

'I rovide shoulder-stra sfor securingthe garm t, which are pre erably made sepa` rate of. the body and are ornamente'd and provided with loops 5 similar to the loops on the body, through which the `same tie-string 7 is passed as is attached to the body, the tie-string having a continuous fastening in the top edge of the Vbody and in the arrnstraps.

When the garment is attached to the wearer, the tie-string is pulled taut and tied in the front, when the stl aps .Will be brought down to the body of the garment and, Itogether with the upper edge of the waist, is

made to lit snugly to the wearer. lIbelieve ,I am the first to secure a tie-string to the' shoulder-straps to make the same fit to the wearer.

Having described my invention, what I claim is A body garment, having substantially semicircular armholes or recesses in its upper edge, independent shoulder straps and'y a gathering-string passing through loops in the upper edge of the garmert and loops in said straps, whereby the latter are adjustablysecured to the garment. l
